Pakistan's ex-cricketers Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal have questioned Ravindra Jadeja’s batting strategy during India’s narrow 22‑run defeat at Lord’s on July 16, 2025. They suggested Jadeja, with over 130 runs in lower‑order partnerships, should have adopted Javed Miandad’s tactic of targeting boundaries at the end of overs when batting with tail‑enders like Bumrah and Siraj . Basit scorned, “Was this Jadeja’s first Test?” while Akmal echoed that Jadeja could have “struck a few sixes” rather than ceding momentum . They argued a bolder intent might have swung the result in India’s favor. (PC: PTI)
